Hello Uri,
The only reason for saying that is because it is not accurate.  Why is it not
accurate?  I believe it's because of what I said.  At one time the SSDF rating
was tied to human ratings.  Also why do they occasionally "adjust" the ratings
by subtracting 100 points?  It's to theoretically bring it more in line with
human ratings.  The comparison is inevitable.  The fact that it is not accurate
will not stop people from trying to find out how strong their computer is
compared to their own rating.  All of this is just my opinion of course!
Regards,
Jim
